Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
Luke 10:19
What plagues this world that we live in is not sin; but that we have ignored the power that we can obtain as a child of God… Jesus says that He gives us all power; it is through Jesus we can obtain all the might that we need to overcome trials, endure hardships, and move mountains… In light of this passage and the words that Jesus speaks today, the question I have is a simple one, why do you live as a captive when you have been freed? Why do we settle for less when God has given us so much more? This passage declares that we have the power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Serpents and Scorpions are two of the most feared and dangerous creatures on this earth, we know the devil took the form of a serpent and deceived mankind; however, we are being told that we can overcome and face any challenge or obstacle in this life. Jesus uses these two reptiles to display the limitless power we receive as a child of God! The Bible says you will be tried, you will be persecuted, but Jesus assures us today that no weapon formed against you shall prosper and that you will be victorious according to His name… You are surrounded by scorpions and serpents, but know that you can turn those stumbling blocks into stepping stones…
Greater is He...
